Adi-lila, Chapter 7 81
Mahaprabhu as far as possible and try to convince the opposition by quoting from
the Sastras and presenting the conclusion of the acaryas. It is in this way that we
should try to defeat all the enemies of the Lord.

TRANSLATION
“Dear Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, what You have said is all true. Only one who is
favored by fortune attains love of Godhead.
PURPORT
One who is actually very fortunate can begin Krsna consciousness, as stated by
Caitanya Mahaprabhu to Srila Ripa Gosvami:
brahmanda bhramite kona bhagyavan jiva
guru-ksna-prasade paya bhakti-lata-bija
(Cc. Madhya 19.151)
There are millions of living entities who have become conditioned by the laws of
material nature, and they are wandering throughout the planetary systems of this
universe in different bodily forms. Among them, one who is fortunate meets a bona
fide spiritual master by the grace of Krsna and comes to understand the meaning of
devotional service. By discharging devotional service under the direction of the bona
fide spiritual master or acarya, he develops love of Godhead. One whose love of God-
head (Krsna-prema) is awakened and who thus becomes a devotee of the incon-
ceivable Supreme Personality of Godhead is to be considered extremely fortunate.
The Mayavadi sannyasis admitted this fact to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. It is not
easy for one to become a Krsna conscious person, but by the mercy of Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu it can be possible, as will be proven in the course of this narration.
